iwi prevents 6-STABLE kernel from building

[Don Wilde]

I'm afraid it is still not loading. See the dmesg file dmesg.no_bfe. There
are several different messages saying that it can't load the bss image
because of an 'invalid argument'.

It also can't seem to coexist with my LAN system, even when I set
iwi_enable="NO" in rc.conf. I'll try eradicating all iwi lines in rc.conf,
because it murders my bfe interface within less than 5 minutes.
